Go the mighty Waves!

What does this post have to do with Unified Comms? Absolutely nothing :)

Because of World Cup season you're likely to hear me talking a lot about rugby (yes I am a tragic - I have been watching those 2AM and 5AM games), so sticking to that theme..

My rugby team - Waverley - has made it to the NSW Suburban grand final. It's a huge occasion - all 4 grades made it to the semi-finals, and 1st grade and 2nd grade (my team) have made it to the grand final!!!

I'll definitely be playing 2nd grade, and usually I end up playing at least half of 1st grade as well. So if you're in Sydney and looking for something to do tomorrow - come along and watch some great local rugby.

2nd grade is playing against Petersham - above is a photo from last time we beat them. That's me in the front row on the left :)

The Rugby World Cup and Outlook

jkruse — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 03:48:00 GMT

If you're a rugby nut like me then it's probably very important that you have the times of all of the World Cup games in your calendar.

Well here is an Outlook public holidays file that will pre-populate these for you :)

UPDATE: the originally linked HOL file actually has the game times hard-coded to local time (i.e. France) which may cause problems. So instead here is an Outlook .ics file I created which has all of the game times in AEST. Hopefully this should adjust to your local timezone if you're non-AEST, although I haven't tested this yet - let me know your results/feedback.

Enjoy!
